Howto disable 'detect loop redirection'?

I've deployed a struts-based application to tomcat. The application uses custom extensions for identifying the actions to deploy. Long story short, an incoming url that ends with (in my case) '.jnet' is processed by the servlet, some layers of redirection occur, and the browser is then pointed to a specific jsp page for rendering.

This works great using the straight tomcat connection on port 8080, also works in WebLogic et. al., but LSWS throws errors in the log files about 'detect loop redirection' and the browser gets the 404 error.
